Description from the seller
Rotel RB‑960BX – Dual Mono Power Amplifier – Very good condition – Fully tested and inspected.
The bias is properly adjusted to 4 mVolt and all solder joints have been checked. The Black Gate capacitors are all still good!
For sale: a Rotel RB‑960BX, a beloved power amplifier from the golden years of Rotel.
Known for its dual-mono design, powerful power supply, and musical, controlled sound.
This is an amplifier that still performs surprisingly well in modern hi-fi systems.
Main features
Dual Mono design for optimal channel separation
- 2× 60 watt at 8 ohm & 2× 110 watt at 4 ohm (more than enough for most speakers)
Very stable power supply with two large transformers.
High damping factor → tight, controlled bass
- Classic Rotel sound: warm, powerful, dynamic
A/B final stage with excellent reliability
Solid build quality (Made in Japan)
Technical condition:
Fully tested
Both channels are playing cleanly and powerfully.
No noise, no crackling, no balance issues.
Speaker connections adjusted to sturdy banana/screw terminals.
Dust-free and heat dissipation in order
Cosmetic condition:

Minimal signs of use appropriate for the age.
Front plate and power button in excellent condition.
Bridge switch at the back works as it should.
See photos for a realistic impression.
Why this Rotel is so loved:
The RB-960BX is one of the most musical power amplifiers from Rotel's classic line.
Thanks to the dual-mono design, it sounds more spacious and more powerful than many modern amplifiers in the same price range. Perfect for those seeking an affordable, reliable, and genuine hi-fi upgrade.
Delivery
Is carefully packed and shipped.
Complete with printed service instructions and schemas.
Insured shipping possible.
Pickup can be arranged in consultation.
Comment from the seller, an audio enthusiast:
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a classic, well-functioning, unspoiled Rotel power amplifier in excellent condition. It pairs perfectly with a streamer/preamp like a Bluesound Node, allowing you to create a serious HiFi system on a small budget!
The last photos have been attached at the request of Catawiki to demonstrate the operation of the Power LED and Bridge LED. The amplifier is connected to a Bluesound Node 2 and two (or one in Bridge Mode) Monitor Audio speakers. The auction concerns only the Rotel amplifier.
Finally, a photo is attached showing how the amplifier will be shipped. The depicted box will then be placed in a larger box filled with styrofoam to prevent damage during transport.
